Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 99 Problems at none against Stack Jump's shown. 99 Problems also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 48%) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 13.0). Stack Jump's advantage is ratings volume (299K vs 38) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 99 Problems sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stack Jump sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stack Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Jump has 299K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of 99 Problems's written reviews are positive against 48% of Stack Jump's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

99 Problems ships an update every 3 months, Stack Jump every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
